CMV primary and non-primary infections among daycare workers, and development of strategies to prevent infection (EDUQ-CMV): a mixed-method study protocol

This study is expected to improve the understanding of CMV epidemiology among a high-risk group (i.e. female daycare workers). By estimating the incidence of CMV infections and patterns of viral shedding, the findings may inform occupational health strategies and public health policies. Based on our findings, guidelines aimed at preventing CMV infections could help protect not only daycare workers but also vulnerable populations, including young children and immunocompromised individuals, with whom they interact.

Abstract

This study is expected to improve the understanding of CMV epidemiology among a high-risk group (i.e. female daycare workers). By estimating the incidence of CMV infections and patterns of viral shedding, the findings may inform occupational health strategies and public health policies. Based on our findings, guidelines aimed at preventing CMV infections could help protect not only daycare workers but also vulnerable populations, including young children and immunocompromised individuals, with whom they interact.
